179. Deep and Precious

1 Deep and precious,
Strong and gracious
Is the Word of God above,
Gently calling
Sinners falling
To the Savior’s arms of love.
Unto all the word is given:
Jesus is the way to heaven.

2 Precious Savior,
Wondrous favor
Hast Thou shown our fallen race.
Worlds may falter,
Times may alter,
Nothing moves Thy Word of grace.
With Thy Word Thy grace abideth
And for all our needs provideth.

3 By Thy Spirit,
Thro' Thy merit,
Draw all sinners, Lord, to Thee.
Sin and error,
Death and terror
By Thy Word shall banish'd be.
Lead us all thro' life’s straight portal,
Lead us on to life immortal.
